BS 7088 is a European standard that outlines the constructional, safety, and performance requirements for pneumatic tourniquet equipment to ensure the smooth functioning of pneumatic tourniquet equipment. BS 7088 layouts manually inflated tourniquets, such as those provided with rubber bulbs or piston pumps. BS 7088 also covers powered tourniquets, such as those provided with an integral source of compressed or liquefied gas or a connection to an external supply of compressed gas, either from a cylinder or from a piped medical gas supply in a hospital. BS 7088 includes fully automatic tourniquet equipment which inflates the cuff to set pressure and thereafter compensates for pressure losses, semi-automatic tourniquet equipment that inflates the cuff to a set pressure but does not compensate for subsequent pressure losses, and non-automatic tourniquet equipment. Note: BS 7088 does not cover tourniquet equipment which includes an integral electrically driven air pump .
